Summary

In a combined radiographic-anatomic study, the anterior tibial artery in a stillborn male was a branch of the posterior tibial at about its mid-point. It gave off an unusual lateral calcaneal vessel that coursed initially in the musculoperoneal canal. The variations are discussed in the context of the complex embryologic development of the blood supply to the lower limb.

Résumé

L'a. tibiale antérieure d'un garçon mort-né, étudiée sur les plans anatomique et radiographique, se présentait comme une branche du tiers moyen de l'a. tibiale postérieure. Elle abandonnait un rameau calcanéen latéral inhabituel qui traversait initialement le canal musculo-fibulaire. Ces variations sont discutées dans le cadre du développement embryonnaire complexe de la vascularisation du membre inférieur.
